San Antonio is fluoridated: "The waiting list at the San Antonio Christian Dental Clinic has been getting longer in recent months. As the nation's economic woes persist, staff members say requests for services continue to mount at the 23-year-old nonprofit.

“These days we've begun to see people in suits, people who clearly have a history of health care and full-time work.”

Last year alone, the clinic, which provides low-cost dental care to low-income adults in Bexar County, had 24,000 patient visits for more than 7,000 clients, nearly half of whom were elderly and on fixed incomes."
